Paul, hang in there.

In the next couple of weeks I'd like to order one of your hood scoops. It looks like you do great work.

Edit, just a side thought, have you thought about getting into the Corvette community? I think there is a big potential for sales there with fiberglass parts.

Paul, I have been wanting some of your parts for a while now and its just not in the cards for me at this point. I'm in a bad spot too (probably going to have to sell my fiero bad). Hope you find a way to work it out.

Hey Paul, I definitely have interest in some of your products, just no funds for them right now. Sorry to hear things are so tight, it's like that here too right now.

Paul, I'd buy something else off of you but I already have your louver collecting dust with no Fiero to bolt it onto

I really love the way that hood vent looks, its similar to the design I was planning to cut into my hood. Definitely matches the lines of the car spectacularly.

I sincerely hope that business picks up for you asap!

I don't have the time & obviously not the money for materials (not to mention no Corvettes to prototype on) to start making parts to compete with several other companies making parts for the same car. I'm over making parts purely on speculation that they MIGHT sell if I make them. I've only sold three of the decklid louvers after soooo many folks said they wanted them & after I put several hundred $$$ in materials & over 60 hours in the prototype. It's one of the reasons I'm in this hole.
EDIT: Not to get political but with the debt Obama has gotten us into I don't see any hope for the economy to recover any time soon. No one has any money right now.
Thanks again everyone,

Just a shout out to tell anyone who does not already know.. Paul makes QUALITY stuff.

I just got some parts from fiero fiberglass, which are good parts that did not disappoint, but Paul's far exceeded their quality! His glass is thick and very straight for glass work. He has a nice slick gel coat which was much nicer then fiero fiberglass. His parts i could slap on my white car and just go... lol....

He does top notch work for a fair price. He does it cause he loves these cars and loves to create! Please support him if you can! You will not be disappointed. Once I get my final parts I will being installing his pieces on my fiero! I can't wait! I bought his quarter vents and stm rear scoop.... Whodeanie has my quarters to modify, but had to move his shop, so once he is settled I will go get them and begin my install!

Yeah... that would only take about 150 hours & $300 in materials...
I'll be glad to make a one-off for you if you have that kind of money.

What, how much for a custom nose? I just might.

Did you see what i want to do with a nose in my thread?


Want some driving lights in the bumpers, the bumper extended all the way across, a grill in the middle and the trim shaved.
You could make a mold and sell it as the "Tbone Special" bumper nose.

Oooo that would look nice. I would do it for $2,200 if you send me your bumperpad to work with (or if I can find one really cheap), but I wouldn't make any money at that.

Sorry to hear that you’re having a tough time Paul. You’ve been a big help to me (as well as many others) with advice on how to do body work and paint on my cars. Because of your do’s and don’ts, it’s coming along nicely….slow, as I never seem to have time but eventually it should turn out nice. I wish there was some way I could help you out with your business but I can’t add any more mods to my Formula without putting a H on the nose! When I get back to the GT I’ll probably be getting one of your deck lid louvers, I’ve always wanted one of those going back to the cheap crap ones that came out of Canada. If I had a little spare cash I’d get one now and stash it away for the future. I hope things turn around for you and business picks up.

Well I got the electric covered at least. Now I have to come up with the $60 for internet access - but at least it's not on the verge of being cut off.

Not having done one (yet), I really don't know how long it will take... I could guess & say around $200 to cut the hood, make the bonding strips, bond in the vent & finish it out.

If I lived closer, I would be all over that! I paid a lil less then half of that for parts alone (Evercoat, SMC adhesive, glazing, sandpaper/primer) to do mine and im not even finished. Not to mention the numeriours hours spent trying to get it right...

Paul,
Duno how long its would take you do it, but I "think" your price is about $100 too low, especially if that includes finishing the under-side...

Yeah I was thinking labor costs & not finishing the underside - & it's still cheap at that...
As for materials, the only real cost to me would be the 'Vette panel adhesive (about 1/2 a qt.). I wouldn't use up a full cutting disc or a grinding disc, & the sandpaper would only be about $10. Primer wouldn't cost much either since I buy it by the gallon & it wouldn't take a lot for the 2' x 2' area.

Just got a new angel scoop yesterday. Thanks Paul! I asked Paul if it was possible to have one of his scoops modified by enlarging the depth of the opening to maximize airflow (this is on a track day Fiero and cooling is a problem) and he did a great job at a price that was very attractive. Thank again Paul.

Right now I'm broke (what else is new? ) so I'll do one for an additional $60.
You will have to cut the trunk sheetmetal.

Just making sure, this is a hood vent and you are saying I'll have to cut the hood sheet metal or would I be cutting other metal? I'm not too worried about doing that unless it's something structural. I assume the $60 does NOT include shipping, right? I'd love to see an installed pic DonP

The metal you would have to cut to fit that hood vent would be the sheet metal on the front of your trunk (in front of the spare tire)...

So would I. Actually, because this is a Lemons car and therefore by definition cannot look too prepared, we may just rivet the scoop to the hood. That and I have no desire to learn fiberglass skills.

We will actually be cutting the bulkhead even more than you might wish to do on your car. This in an effort to move the scoop further back and make it even more efficient by exposing more radiator surface area. Aesthetics will lose out to function. And I would not do that to a street car.

The amount of sheet metal that would need to be removed would depend on where vent is mounted. If you mount it close to the nose of the car, the amount of metal removed would be less; further back and more (deeper) would have to be removed...

The area was opened up around 3+" more. The vent has a 2 1/4" x 18" opening, so it's around 6" x 18" with the mod. I designed the Version 2.0 vent so that you wouldn't have to cut the sheetmetal, 'cause no one wanted to do that for the first vent. With the mod, you'll have to cut the sheetmetal I think around 2" like the original vent (but you'll have to install it & see).
The total including shipping would be $230 for the modified vent.
Thanks,

Hmmm... Still liking the DonP version but the no-cutting version is nice too. I'll have to do some more pondering.

I really need the money if you're interested.

I just got yet ANOTHER money order for a part that I HAVE NO WAY OF CASHING. I just don't get why it's SOOOO hard for folks to understand that I have no way of cashing ANYTHING but a U.S. POSTAL money order. Going to make me late again on my electric bill & my internet is still two months behind. Ruined my whole week if not the whole month.
To our Canadian friends: If you don't have any way to get a U.S. POSTAL money order & can't (or don't want to) send U.S. CASH, please don't bother to ask me to make any parts!
On a side note, I have an STM hood vent made & ready to ship out if anyone wants it. I'll make another one for the guy that sent the wrong money order by the time I find a way to cash it - IF I find a way to cash it.
